Everyone already knows Santa is amazing and kind and funny. Santa who comes to us, is beyond words. He is absolutely phenomenal. Plus, he is pretty updated - he has email!!!
I have secretly been emailing him behind the girls' backs, to know what time he is coming so I can plan dinner accordingly. Well, he wrote me a couple of emails that you can read below (Santa I hope you don't mind me sharing the joy of your emails!!).
He cracks me up. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did. I read them to the girls tonight and that is what Chloe was referring to in the letter she wrote before. Actually, she emailed him from my iPhone. As email address she simply wrote: Santa Claus. - in case you need to know where to send your emails! :)
"Santa's a little blind this year as he just had Grumpy do cataract surgery on
his right eye. He's only got one functioning eye now - so he's having a job
not overshooting roofs and crashing into chimneys: if you hear any loud noises
on Christmas Eve you'll know what it is.
I already told a couple of the SWEA kids that Rudolph got lost last year and I ended up
going down the chimney of an older couple who weren't at all pleased to have
soot on their carpet and only get rewarded with a little wooden fire engine and
a barbie doll. They REALLY wanted a check for their health insurance. Oops!"

This was Santas reply to when we were chatting about Santa coming by boat:
"The really cool, Austinly weird thing would be Santa zipping down the lake on
skis with Rudolf and the sleigh cruising along just above him. Then Santa hits a
ramp, soars into the air, does a double back-flip, lands on the sleigh, pulls
out a Fender from under his red jacket, and starts playing and singing "Jingle
Bell Rock!" (there's a big amp on the sleigh, plugged into the socket on
Rudolph's nose).
Then Rudolph gives the hook 'em horns sign, loops the loop, does a barrel roll
and drops Santa back off into the lake at just the right spot to cruise up
to your boat dock unaided. Santa whips out a lassoo, drops it over the corner
of the boathouse just in time to stop himself sinking, kicks off the skis, does
a huge leap from the lawn headfirst down the chimney and pops out right in front
of the three little girls with a big fat grin and a loud Yippppeeee!!!
I wish!"

The girls and I were laughing out loud tonight when I read these out loud. Hysterical or what!?

Adrian has had his first day of large dose of chemo. He says he can feel it in his body, but he is not hibernating... at least not yet, it is only day one. When I say hibernating, I mean he feels so lousy he is just sleeping non stop.
On Monday when he went to see Dr. Alousi and did labs his WBC was down to 2, I think he said. That is really low. Which is a little weird since he hasn't had chemo for weeks. But Dr. Alousi had said it was ok and nothing to worry about.
It is the same thing as Black Friday, when his WBC was down to .3 and he was feeling so good he went to the mall (!!!!)... he is not doing that again. :) It is easy to forget about the counts when you feel great and have been doing chemo and want to go out and be 'free'.
I trust Dr. A with this whole thing. Dr Fayad said that Dr. A does a lot of Allo transplants and deals a lot with Graft vs. host (and vice versa) disease. Not that it is a risk for Adrian, but it is nice to know he has all the knowledge for the 'difficult' situations.
Adrian told me there is a really nice day room where the patients on the transplant floor can go and hang out. Great they have that, so he doesn't have to sit in the room all day long - would make anyone go in sane. Plus he said he had a decent dinner (!!!) that is a first!! :)
I am off to bed, have to see if I can get my laptop fixed tomorrow... I miss it!!!
